As some of you may be aware I along with Mr Flibble and Petrock from Trucknet regularly work as volunteers for a charity taking humanitarian aid to Kosovo. Mr Flibble and myself actually spent most of yesterday loading the two artics ready for our next departure on 31st of March.
Now the charity has been offered the possibilty of extra loads of bulk food maybe one full load each month, but we havent the capability to get the loads to Kosovo every month, so I have been asked to price the job up of getting the loads to Kosovo comercially.
When we take the aid we are exempt from paying most of the road tolls, so I havent a clue what the charges are and this is were I hoping you can help.
What is the price for the Belgium/Holland vignette these days and is it still the same that one ticket covers both countries.
German maut price from Aachen to the Austrian border at Passau.
We have to pay in Austria and Hungary so I know the prices for those countries.
Also what would be the normal rate for a load back to the UK from Austria or southern Germany.
The costs for the german maut, can be any thing it depends
on what euro norm the truck is as the lowest rate is 15.5cents
and the highest is 28.8cents and that times athe distance
which if they go along the A4-A3 ROUTE is about 710kmsca,
so this is any thing from€205 down to €110 this IS NOT EXACT
just rough, numbers here is the list of maut charges levied HERE
YOU posted about reloads, have you tried talking
to say stobarts they do work out that way still i belive,
or even asking if they might be prepared to do a special offer
to take the load out to kosovo,■■?
COST of a reload from austria-southern germany
around €1500–1800 perhaps,and they pay the return ferry charges themselves, plus maut,
Paul have you thought about approching a big company and ask them if they would lend you a truck and driver for this i would use someone that has vehicles in most of the countries you will travel through like krafrtverker nagel. its just a thought mate
Further to my PM, you’ll also struggle to get a descent backload 'til you reach the EU, go to Split get the ferry and try for one around Ancona, that’s what we used to do all the time.
